The International Non-Use Agreement on Solar Geoengineering should commit governments to five core prohibitions and measures:
- The commitment to prohibit their national funding agencies from supporting the development of technologies for solar geoengineering, domestically and through international institutions.
- The commitment to ban outdoor experiments of solar geoengineering technologies in areas under their jurisdiction.
- The commitment to not grant patent rights for technologies for solar geoengineering, including supporting technologies such as for the retrofitting of airplanes for aerosol injections.
- The commitment to not deploy technologies for solar geoengineering if developed by third parties.
- The commitment to object to future institutionalization of planetary solar geoengineering as a policy option in relevant international institutions, including assessments by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
